War? Why?
Because you have to have the war on Christmas during Christmas time

meh...I guess I'll be your prisoner because I won't fight. If you choose to not participate in Christmas, don't. Or take up that ancient tradition of Kwanza if you please....or Wanka-yu Meitnow Day or whatever you choose. Why must there be a fight?

But really, it's CHRISTmas.... PC fool :P . I wish you "happy holidays" honestly, how more retarded can this political correctness get, everyone is shit scared to say Christmas, now's its Xmas, but everyone (lol just realized my phones auto correct capitalized x, see what I mean?) is obsessed with kwanza or hanukah lol. Christmas to those that call it that isn't even about Christ, its about a fucking tree, some presents, and frosty the snowman.

You know that 'X' refers to the greek letter chi, which is what was used to represent Christ in greek religious texts, right? I like it being called Christmas, since that is what I know as Christmas, the semi-pagan winter solstice celebration.

Christianity is about your *personal* relationship with *your* God. Is your relationship with God harmed or enhanced in the least if some post on the internet uses and X in the place of Christ? Is your relationship with God really about a tree and a pile of gifts under said tree?

I think Christians that get their undies in a bunch and start fights over whether or not someone uses an "X" in the word Christmas have played *precisely* into Satan's hands, and have been distracted from what they are supposed to be doing - celebrating their Savior's birth. Because you will never convince the "X"'ers that they are wrong...and they will laugh their asses off at you because have so effectively pissed you off.

If you want to worship God, do it in your own time, in your own place, in your own way. Your worship may even include telling others about your beliefs in a respectful manner at the appropriate time (in fact, it *should* include that if you truly love your fellow man)....but cramming your manufactured Holiday celebration down other people's throats, and demanding that they practice *your* Holiday the way *you* require them to celebrate said Holiday is anything but Christian.

God didn't force faith on people. Christ didn't force worship on people. Paul didn't force worship on people...and in fact, when Paul found himself in a place whereupon he was confronted with the idols to every known god, including one to "the unnamed god", he instead adapted their practices and used them as the launch pad to express state his own beliefs.

So get over it. XMAS....CHRISTMAS....whatever, bro. You ought to remember and worship Christ *every* day, not just one randomly choosen day of the year, and you ought to worship Him in truth and spirit and action...not by arguing about the spelling of a word.

<that is all...>
I don't fight, I'm mocking the conservatives who claim liberals declared war on Christmas.

MY youngest is on board and ready to cel-e-brate for 45 days straight.

@Invi - MY melanin counts a little too low for teh Kwanza and they won't lets me dance 'round the K-pole or whatever it is they use. But if there is anyone here that partakes of the holiday, I'd certainly be curious as to their family traditions.

For that matter, I'd be curious as to anyone's particular traditions if they fall outside the social norm.

We're pretty straight forward here, except for the typical inclusion of a few basic Polish cuisine items in our holiday celebration meals.

krellin (80 DX)
10 Nov 13 UTC
OK...I guess we do one other thing that is probably atypical: Christmas morning, when the kids swarm the tree and we start opening presents, we just call that "Greed Fest"....so I suppose that's probably not quite normal. We just try to keep it real and not attach any religious significance whatsoever to what is, essential, just an unmitigated display of greed, so we call it what it is.
Invictus (240 D)

"AAVE? I don't know what that is."

African American Vernacular English. It's the word linguists use to describe what is sometimes popularly called "Ebonics." You know, the non-standard way black people all over America often speak. It's pretty obvious you were imitating it.

Oh. Ebonics is the word I know, and no, I was not trying to write in Ebonics. If you perceived it as such, so be it.

Uhhhhh......yeah, and I also said "T-Day" ,"X-mas tree", "jonesin'", "'em", "Fam' room" up above. Your point? I wasn't immitating any particular "racial dialect" on purpose, honestly....which I guess is why I did it so poorly.

If I *had been* do you really think *I* would deny it? It's not an issue I shy away from, you know. lol

Convoy Cut Support
If I convoy a unit to a province and support such that it dislodges the fleet in that territory, I get it. That's straight forward. However at the same time, the piece that would be dislodged by a successful convoy is supporting another fleet to attack the unit convoying my unit and if there was no convoy my "convoying" fleet would be dislodged. Does the convoy succeed?
